Chicago Tribune, Sept, 8.
The Ex-C Confederate Soldiers Asso-
citation of Chicago has applied for and
received permission from the Secretary
of War to erect q monument to the
Confederate soldiers who are buried in
Oakwood cemetery, It was necessary
to obtain this permission because the
ground where the men are buried be-
longs to the government.
President George Forester of the
association was asked what the plans
of the association were.
"Ihcy have not been decided upon
as yet" he said. owe may try to get
a stone from each of the Southern
States for the monument or we may
erect it by subscription. | am rather
inclined to think that We will adopt
the latter method. But in either case
the monument will be very plain and
simple. You see there are about 60oo
Confederate soldiers buried there, and
we don't think they ought to lie neg
Iected, They were good soldiers even
if they were on the wrong side There
is not stone there now with the ex
ceptiou of one little slab erected oyel

is clear, just as though it had beel

DeSoto Democrat: A few days
since Mr.. Wesley Allen, Of this parish,
a veteran Of the 10th Louisiana Con
federato Infantry, showed US peculiar
relic. Mr.. Allen was a gallant soldier,
and lost leg in battle. But to the
relic, he has in his possession a small
pocket Bible, that was in his KNAPP
sack, at tho battle Of Chicamanga,
when 1t was struck by a minnie ball,
which knocked Mr., Allen down but
did no further harm. The ball buried
about half way in the Bible, and when
Mr. Allen opened his knapsack he tied
a string around the book and sent il
home, and he now has it in exactly the

of faith cure which occurred 10 that
city on the night before The dispatch
says: "Mrs. w, s. Jordan, wife Of

been confined to her bed for a year

I. Polk, robbed the State Treasury Of
Tennessee of several hundred thousand

THE Alexandria Torn Talk says !;
"a year or two ago we made mention
of fact not generally known. After
q person has paid his taxes and got q
receipt from the Tax Collector, under
the present law, the State still holds q
mortgage on the property, and this
mortgage is on record until the person
goes into the Clerks Office and has
the clerk, or his deputy, take the as
scssment roll which he has in bis office,
and mark tho word Cancelled across
die assessment. The clerk charges a
small fee for his work, Tho law was
passed, we believe, SO that if tax
payer should lose his tax receipt, 1t
would be legally recorded iu the
Clerks office that the tax-payer bad
paid his taxes for any specified year.

EARLY ENGLISH.
Curious Traits and Costumes of Our
British FOrefathers.

Cassells English History.
The English appear to have been exceed
ingly fond of dress. Ladies of rank wore
necklaces bracelets and rings set with
precious stones. MantleS. kirtles and
gowns were also in general use, and rouge
was not unknown to them. In the men
this taste for tinery degenerated into effem-
macy. They wore golden collars, and not
infrequently precious stones. round the
neck. and the wealthy wore costly bracelets
and rings. They had silk. linen and
wooden garments. Silk, from its costliness,
was used only by the wealthy.
The fashion of the garments. of course,
varied. They had large mantles. which
were ornamented with gold and gems; close
coats OF tunics, girded with a belt which
Strut represents as having been put on
over the head like shirt. Many English
men are not aware that the smock frock of
the husbandman of our day is pure piece
of old English costume, and if it were well
made, frightened with a broad belt, and
worn by man of good carriage, it would
form much handsomer dress than the un-
meaning stiff cut coats of our time. Socks
and stockings and other coverings for the
legs are mentioned by English writers.
The articles of costume were of great
variety. A taste for gorgeous finery ap-
pears in the dress of the male sex. We
read of kings coronation garment being
made of silk woven with gold flowers. and
of cloak studded with gold and gems.
The dress of the soldiers and civilians uSu-
ally consisted Of close coat or tunic,
reaching only to the knee, and short
cloak over the left shoulder which buckled
on the right. This cloak was often
trimmed with an edging of gold. The
kings and mobiles also commonly wore a
dress very similar to this, only richer and
more. elegant. In the paintings of the
manuscripts the women are usually repre-
sented in long loose robe. reaching to
the ground, and with loose sleeves, the
latter sometimes hanging yard in length.
Upon the head is hood or veil, which falls
down before, and is gathered into folds
round the neck and breast. The robe is
often Ornamented with broad borders OF diff
ferent cOlOrS. Both men and women wore
shoes, or rather slippers; the legs of the
men being covered half way up with kind
| of bandage wound round, or else straight
stocking reaching above the knee. Up to
the period of the Conquest the taste for
gold Ornaements had increased, and mas
sive bracelets for the arms and neck, rings
gOr the fingers and chains OF gold were
common. Among the nobility crclets OF
gold set with jewels were worn on the head.
and belts and girdles we've much admired,
and were often richly Ornamented.

France and GERMANY.

PARIS, March 1s.-The Voltaire pub
fishes an interview to-day with NJ. De
Lesseps in relation to his visit to Berlin.
NJ. De Lesseps professed complete disregard
for the attacks upon him by the radical
press, and maintained the truth of his asser-
ton that Germany and France were natural
friends. having common interests. He said
Prince Bismarck told him he was glad to
see France great and strong, and would
wish to be the same, so that the two nations
might be able to gauge the uncertainty of a
fresh conflict.
sMay we some day exclaim," continued
the prince. 'that we would be stupid to kill
each other; let US join forces and be mas
ters of the world. We would then be able
to work for the progress of civilization. The
day our forces are equal we will again be
friends. Our geographical position makes it
our duty to neglect nothing to that enc
which will insure the peace of the world.
That is why congratulate you upon possess
ing the energetic and soldierlike Gen. Bou-
langer. l repeat that when our forces are
equal the two peoples will frateInZe.'

Iowa Railway Assessment.

Special to the GLOBE.
DEs MONIES, March 1S.-The state ex-
ecutlve council. composed of the governor,
treasurer, auditor and secretary of state,
was in session wrestling intently with the
intricate problem OF railway assessment.
The present total valuation of railway prop
erty in Iowa is placed at a fraction in ex-
cess OF S32. 600, 600, and the chief concern
of the council is to determine ii this is not
considerably below tine actual value By
the governor, as also other members, it is
believed that the railways are not paying
proportionate amount of taxes and we'll
defined intention is manifest TO raise the
valuation $4,000, 600 or Sc, 100000. 1t is
said there are in the state 8. 500 engines,
which the council assumes are worth 6. 900
each, while 10, 600 box cars are worth S400
apiece. Of passenger coaches there are
1.300, valued at $4,000 each. A number
of railways have been represented before
the council by their general tax auditors,
who assisted in unraveling the many grave
problems Of railway affairs, which the coun-
Gil has not yet been able to correctly solve.

CHICAGO, March 1S.--The circumstan-

West Division Railway company. The ne
gotiations were concluded last Saturday and
the books are now being checked up with
a view to ascertaining the correctness of
the statements OF the officials of the new
road as to the earnings and expenses. The
Passenger road has been very extensively
advertised because it was the West di-

NEW DULUTH ROADS
Which Are Expected TO Open Up the
Mineral Region.

mineral heSlOns
Special to the Globe.
DULUTH, March 1S.-The Lake Superior
& Pacific Railroad company, organized last
fall. is getting ready to build their line as
far as ST. Louis, new town just plated,
at the junction of the st. Louis and Cloquet
rivers. Another company, composed
mainly of Chicago men. have had out locat-
ing parties. and afeasible road from Du-
luth up into the iron country has been
found. This road as now proposed will
have its terminal facilities and repair shops
in connection with the Lake Superior &
Pacific, at Grassy Point. From there this
route runs along the hills back of Oneota
for some distance in a southwesterly
direction, gradually working up
the grade till it gets across
the ran ge. 1t then turns directly north and
runs straight up to the iron country. The
road, as now projected, will tap both the
Vermillion and Mesaba ranges. There
will be three mammoth ore docks built at
Grassy Point with all the convenences Of
loading vessels directly from the cars. The
projectors expect to go right ahead and
build this summer and it is probable that
the new organization will be consolidated
with the Lake Superior & Pacific. Both Of
these roads will tap country rich in TIM
Der, and the plan is to bring this timber
down to Duluth by rail instead of by river
as heretofore. In the first place it can be
brought down much cheaper, and besides
the logs will be in far better shape when
they get here. BY the new route to the
iron country ore can be brought down con-
sderably cheaper than by the Duluth Sc
Iron Range.

Wisconsin Legislature.

Speclal 10 the Glope.
MADISON, Wis, March 1S.-A spicy lit
tie episode occurred in the assembly this
morning during the debate over the bill to
regulate the duties of the state pension
agent ali Office held by several to be chiefly
in the interest of the incumbent. Judge
Humphrey, of st. CroiX, and Mr.. Grimm,
young member, were the principals. Mr..
Grimm, i'll the course of his speech, referred
to some members as having personal i'll
feeling in the matter. This so incensed the
venerable judge that he sprang from his
seat and delivered some pretty strong re-
marks. Grimm afterwards apOlogized. An
adjournment was taken before anything
definite was done with the bill. Aside
from the little spat in the house the sessions
in both houses were devoid of interest. To-
night grand reception and ball was given
by the members in the legislative cham
bers. large number of guests being pres
ent from all parts of the state.

KilIen Wants to Fla hit.

Mike Breslauer, Pat Killen's manager,
was standing in group of sporting men at
the Columbia restaurant at Minneapolis last
evening when Patsey Cardiff approached
and said:
You are the man who has Cardiff on one
cheek, Killen on the other, Warren on your
chin and Sullivan inside of you
Bresauer answered.: 'Wel, l have a man
to fight you"
'.Who is he?" asked Cardiff.
''Pat Killen,'' was the reply.
''Why don't you put up, then?" rejolned
Cardiff. II will fight Killen or any one else
who puts up his money for 1000 to $4,000 a
sde.''
Cardiff further went on to denounce Kill
len as cur and newspaper fighter.
Shortly after this Breslauer telegraphed
Killen at Duluth of Cardff's offer, and in
a short time received the following reply:
Will fight Cardiff for $1,000 side, and will
send forfeit to be posted Immediately.
1t now remains to be seen whether
Cardiff will make good his word or whether
he will back down.

The Army Wants More Men.

special TO the uloue.
WASHINGTON, March 1S.-Among the
orders issued at the war department was
one directing the superintendent of the re-
cruitng service to forward sixty-eight re-
crruts to the department of the Platte for
assignment, forty-seven to the Seventeenth
infantry and twenty-one to the Second in
fantry. Within the past few weeks re-
cruiting has been unusually brisk at the
stations in the East and several hundred
new men have been added to the army.
When the attention of the adjutant general
of the army was called to this circumstance
to-day he stated that it meant nothing be-
yond an intention to bring several OF the
regiments up to the maximum, and as far
as he knew had no reference to expected
Indian outbreaks on the frontier. Some of
the regiments were very much depleted by
the expiration of the terms of service of
the men, and in order that these vacancies
might be promptly filled new recruits had
been enlisted and sent to the posts garri-
